Saif Ali Khan returns to production under a new banner called ‘Black Knight Films’. He has joined hands with his long time producer friend Jay Shewakramani of Northern Lights Films. They both collaborated in films like Race' and 'Race 2' and have signed a three–film deal, starting with 'Jawani Jaaneman'.

The casting of the film is not yet confirmed and is underway. It is speculated to start in the first half of 2019. Film will be directed by Nitin Kakkar.

Jay says, “I really look forward to this collaboration, as Saif has been a friend for many years. Apart from being an immensely talented star, he is also a sharp entrepreneur. His intelligence and artistic sensibility will be a huge asset to the films we’ve partnered on.”

“The family comedy is a coming-of-age story of a 40-year-old man and revolves around his relationship with his daughter.”

The Chhote Nawab, adds, “I’ve never shied away from alternate genres and avant garde scripts, and this is going to be as exciting as it gets. Jay and I have been planning this for a while now and with 'Jawaani Jaaneman', we found just the right project to produce together.”
